He denies GI distress but states his appetite is not what it usually is. He has a history of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia at guideline-based goals. He is a former smoker, quitting about 10 years ago with approximately a 35-pack-year history and was diagnosed 5 years ago with COPD. Clinical assessment confirms the diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia, suitable for outpatient treatment. Which of the following represents the most appropriate antimicrobial option?

    A. Oral levofloxacin

    B. Injectable ceftriaxone

    C. Oral azithromycin
